Hey there I had my surgery March6 2012. Hardest, most scary yet the best and most rewarding decision of my life! It's normal to be scared but as time flys by, because it will, and the pounds are shed off you will be so happy of your choice to embark on this journey. It won't be easy, and yes possibly painful and you may encounter negative comments and even haters as you transform into a healthier happier you, but all that willhave been worth it. Stay strong and best of luck. I have my 1 yr appt on march7. And I am still 7 lbsfrom my doctors goal a little disappointed but I think I'll make it in do time:)

yayyy Carroll! It's one decision you won't regret! When I first woke up from my surgery, I have to admit, I did have a minute of doubt. The first thought to cross my mind was "What did I do to myself?" I know it was the groggy head feeling and the pain talk. Because the next time I woke I was ok and got a dose of pain med. It took from 2pm to 1am for the fogginess to lift from my head. Then it's been all good. so far it's going smoothly. I'm able to get in my 60-80 grams of Protein and at least 6 cups of liquids...definitely 8 counting the Protein shakes/broth.

Good luck with your surgery. It'll be here before you know it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
